It must be a down year for music because I didn't buy any of those.

I didn't either and I think they missed a lot of good stuff that have come out this year.

The new NIN album in 2017 will win next year

I've never heard of any of those albums or artists. I'm a little out of touch.

I've had a full fucking plate. I moved out of my beloved NYC, purchased a new car and am shopping for a house. All that shit has kept me busy as hell. Plus this spring me and the wife are planning on mating.

BTW, I bought a Subaru and I love it.

Also I've had little time for sports outside of baseball. I watched MSU vs UofM and that was about it.

I actually saw some hope that game. That 2pt conversion though was the dumbest thing I've ever seen but I'm sure that's been discussed here ad nauseum.

I think "steve" is actually Donald J. Trump and he's been busy running for President.

'Wow'

Forester, I love the car. We were looking at nothing but asian cars. Rav 4, CRV and various Subarus. The Forester won out.

My rule of thumb, buy Asian lease German.

Steve Gunn's album this year had some good stuff on it.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2016-11-17, 10:53

It's funny when you see the same people who pump out the "freedom baby merica capitalism" then go off on their "BUY MERICAN!!!!" tangents

It has been a great year for music.

Didn't see any of those on there, just kinda skimmed over.

I listened to most of the new Metallica, which is pretty good actually. Feels like old school Metallica.

Listened to Beyonce's Lemonade. I'm not a fan of hers, but my GF worships her. A lot of excellent albums are made from emotion/anger/loss, and this is one of those.

I've heard two of the new Metallica songs and they sounded great to my ears. Looks like it's all up on the we in video and the release date is the tomorrow.

When Beyonce's album came out i saw all sorts of people trashing the album on social media. I figured I'd just have an open mind and give it a chance. I actually liked a few songs, I definitely need to listen to it some more. I watched her performance on the CMA's the other week. I thought the song was mediocre but it was better most of the modern country I've heard.

NPR just released a Steve Gunn Field Recording yesterday. What an unbelievable guitarist.

I like the ones who drive trucks that get about 10 mpg with a sticker that says "I Support The Troops".
